This week we report on two of the most famous photos of all time. Matt delves into the story behind a photo of the Revolutionary Che Guevara. Photographer Alberto Korda saw little reward for his now iconic shot of Che throughout much of his life. The photo is now recognised the world over and we discuss how the constant reproduction of the image may have meant the message is now lost.

Lorna reports on Tank Man. Captured by at least five different photographers, Tank Man depicts a brave man who put his life on the line by confronting a line of tanks in China in 1989.

Look out for a follow up episode next week as we discuss more of the stories behind famous photos!
